RE: The fouls Gardner was picking up, I mean, he's initiating contact and bumping defensive players to make his shot. He said so afterwards. But if the defenders shuffle their feet or lean forward in anticipation of contact, that's a blocking foul, correct?
After every whistle, Rak and Keita both, always turn to the refs and Boeheim and raise their hands complaining, "Why? What did I do?". I can only assume that the coaching staff spends time with the guys and drills into their heads what they're doing wrong, but they still don't seem to understand it.
Also, the lack of fouls being called during scrums is getting ridiculous. Dude tackles Triche and pushes him down - no call. Lots of over the backs. Fair reaches/slaps at the ball after a Marquette player corrals a rebound - foul!
